NC And Same Sex/Interracial Marriage
#1
NC And Same Sex/Interracial Marriage
Quote:The Indiana law allowed “compelling governmental interests” to trump religious exercise—but the North Carolina bill has no such upper limit. In effect, the bill declares that protecting civil servants’ right to discriminate on the job is more important than anything else. All a magistrate need do under the bill is declare that she holds a religious objection to issuing a marriage license to a certain couple, and she can legally turn them away.


According to Slate, legislatures in NC  are attempting to pass a bill that would allow magistrates and registers of deeds an exemption if they don't wish to marry a couple. The governor already vetoed it but the NC Senate overrode his veto.
